VFW DAY OF SERVICE

An Annual Community Service Event

MAY 1, 2027

Join the 6th Annual VFW Day of Service

Across the country and around the world, veterans will unite to strengthen their communities through service. Together, we’ll spotlight the lasting impact of veterans who continue to lead lives of purpose long after their military service ends.

We’re calling on veterans and patriots like you to host a service project anytime in May. No project is too big or too small — every act of service matters.

Sign up today and help make this our biggest VFW Day of Service yet.

*Please note we carefully review all submissions. We may reach out if additional details are needed.

Additionally, these events do not qualify for Day of Service: “Buddy”® Poppy drives, membership recruiting, fundraising activities and events not held between May 1 – 31.
